  • Family

    In order to accommodate the travel schedules for a few out of state family members, we celebrated an early Christmas yesterday.

    EVERYONE was able to attend, and my youngest sister was a good sport to host the crowd!

    This is a picture of the “kids” with Mom Mom.  Her grandchildren range in age from 18 to 38.  And the great grandchildren range from 8 months to 11 years old.

  • Winter Beach Walk Tips

    ShoesCold mornings mean it’s time to change up my daily beach walk routine.

    1) Sneakers are not warm enough for me in the winter.  I wear sturdy hikers for warmth and stability.

    2) Our wonderful summer “breeze” changes to a chilly winter “wind”; most often from the northwest.  Walking near the dunes provides some protection from the gusts.

    3) Beaches are not groomed in the off season, allowing the soft sand to pack down.  Plus, the moisture in the sand freezes, creating a firmer surface for walking.

    4)  Hat, gloves, and a winter coat are necessities.  I also swear by wool socks and ski pants.   Occasionally I leave the house thinking I am over dressed for the walk…until I reach the path!

    See you on the beach 🙂

  • Morning Beach Walks

    Looking outside this morning, I could only see a huge dark cloud over the ocean.  I bundled up and headed to the beach… not expecting to see much of a sunrise.

    Yet once I crossed over the beach path, the view vastly improved!

  • Seashore Santa- Update

    For those of you who enjoy my annual Christmas post “The Real Seashore Santa” – big news:  Santa received a make over!

    Our niece is a talented artist (and pre-K teacher), and she offered to give Santa a well deserved face lift. Because Megan understands the sentimental history of Santa with our family,  I knew she was the right person for the job.

    Santa looks amazing…and is ready for another 50+ years at the beach  🙂

    Before and during the procedure…
